Stats
Bio
A Prahran native who arrived at Glenferrie Oval as a teenager, Bert Graham was a tall utility who played his football during the tumultuous early years of the Second World War. Standing 185cm, he provided a strong aerial target for the struggling Mayblooms, often drifting forward to impact the scoreboard during his brief tenure. He established himself in the senior lineup during the 1941 season, but his promising career was abruptly curtailed by the war effort. Graham enlisted in the Australian Army, a commitment that effectively ended his VFL journey after just 23 games and nine goals.
